Florida Panthers Announcer Randy Moller Calls
Florida Panthers Announcer Takes Goal Calls To An Awesome New Level
I know not many of you watch hockey, and even fewer of you would be watching hockey in Florida, but let me tell you something, you're missing out. Panthers announcer Randy Moller, who is a former NHL player, has taken announcing to new heights.

How so? Well, you know how guys like Stuart Scott say "Booyah!" on goals, which is pretty random. Well, Moller embraces randomness like to no before him. He will quite literally say the first thing that pops into his head after a goal. See, Moller doesn't stick with one call (like Scott has for 15 years), so he never gets boring. Instead, it's fun to just try and figure out how his brain works.

Let's have a listen to some of his gems.



I'm not sure why, but I think "Wakka Wakka" is my favorite call. Fozzie Bear knows how to school NHL goalies.

Caught him doing a Panthers game on radio one night when I was in Orlando - he is excellent!

LA face with an Oakland booty....

I'm sure whoever scored that goal appreciated that call.

The secret to this "magic" is a copy of AFI's Useless Movie Quotes and a bottle of methamphetamines.  I'll take Bruce Martyn, Dave Strader, or Bob Cole over this poser.

If he calls out "random" movie quotes right off the top of his head, let's hope he hasn't been watching porn...

This guy copied Mike Lange's (Pittsburgh Penguins) gimmick.  "Oh, call Arnold Slick from Turtle Creek!"

While this is pretty darn funny, I still think it's stupid. Just call the damn game, stop drawing attention to yourself by pulling out random movie quotes and throwing them out there after a Panther scores. They don't make any sense and don't apply whatsoever.

Also, there is no way these are "random." He has to think of them before the game

I can't find the link, but someone said that he takes input from callers to his radio show, and that's where he gets his calls from.

I won't lie, that's a bit disappointing.

It's more sad than anything, the fact that he has to use the fans and their random movie references to draw any attention to himself

I think the next time someone gets a hat trick he pulls out, "orange whip, orange whip, three orange whips!"
